How yampp came to be....

Well, it all started when I saw Hugo Fiennes player, the MP3Mobile, later to be empeg.
For a long time, I'd wanted to digitalize my old LP records, so I could play them in the car.
So with this MP3 player, I could fullfill my dreams.

So I also got me a PCM-5862 board and built a MP-3 player with that. But it was rather big and clumsy and needed a lot of power, so I never really installed it in the car.

Other people also started to build players with various processors, and I decided to build one using a Hitachi processor (see more on the hardware pages).
I have now put all my records on a Linux server, and the plan is now to use the PCM-5862 board together with a laptop display with a touch-screen, as a home stereo.

I still need the car player though, and that's where yampp comes in.
